Good morning Cafe. Coffee is on.

I have to roust DH in a few minutes to give him time to get dressed while I tend the flock. He has his preadmission blood work and EKG today for his biopsy procedure next Friday along with his Covid test for his Monday Colonoscopy. He goes back to the hospital Tuesday for his Covid test for his biopsy.
After his tests this morning, I'll bring him home, we'll have some breakfast then I head back out the door to go to work. I will likely take a half day as I don't think I'll make it 10 hours there. And poor Bella hasn't run in several days and she's stir crazy so I want to get home in time to get her out before it's dark. I'm pretty sure that will run my tank to empty.
Everyone have a great day!!

Wow! I hope it all goes well today

Hey @ronott1 , I've got it written down that it's your birthday today.... Hoping that's right when I say

Happy Birthday!

I'm having issues with the hospital administration allowing me to escort DH for his actual procedures. It's against their policy. Well then how am I going to discuss DHs condition with the anesthesiologist? He is supposed to get the lightest sedation possible to get the procedure done and not adversely affect his confusion any more than necessary. And he gets stressed and agitated without me with him to help communicate with others and him about what is going on. And he may wander off not knowing any better. If they want to deal with all that and be responsible for him, give it try.
I allowed DH to go with the nurse to get his blood drawn and his EKG this morning without me. She came back with him and asked me if he was always this confused.
Well, yes, he has Alzheimer's.
Have you talked with Lisa yet? (Admissions manager)
No, but I left her a message.
You need to be with him before the procedure.
Oh? You think so, huh? What a good idea!

The "policy" needs to include the management of dementia patients such that their care givers/escorts are also Covid-19 tested. Problem solved.

if only administrators thought like you do, the world would be a much better place!
The Sir Humphrey Appleby model rules here, sadly.

Jeez. You'd think she'd say "Hey, I'll make sure the powers-that-be know this information." Because somehow they don't already.
